Things that fall

petals
teardrops
snowflakes
rain
stars
tides
eyelids
time
shadows
leaves
the sun
and I,
for you

You said I'm beautiful
and that you're tired of
me saying I am not
And that you're tired of
me keep telling that
I feel worthless next to you
And I am mad sometimes
not at you, mad at me
Because I let myself think
I am not good enough
every single time
But please
don't say you're tired of me
I feel even worse when I
hear those words from your mouth
You'll never know what it feels like
Because if I am a star,
you are this beautiful moon
in the morning sky

- A.R.
